Xia Jingxuan left the hotel in the middle of the night and told the guard on the front page to buy a pack of cigarettes, and the guard let him go.

The colleagues who worked together trusted him very much, and never thought that he would leave like this and never return.

Xia Jingxuan hailed a car and rushed to the bus station overnight, after a long journey of several hours.Just after dawn, at the same time when Yan Mingxu knocked on his door, Xia Jingxuan set foot on the land of his hometown Qingshui Town again after many years.

The current Qingshui Village is very different from ten years ago. The houses have been refurbished, and the muddy roads in memory are gone. The blue old stone bricks are paved with blue, shining under the rising sun. Bright, clean and bright, just like any tourist town known to ordinary people.

Qingshui Village relies on water, and the villagers have relied on the river for generations to eat. When the river is plentiful and fish and shrimps breed, life is easy, but when it comes to drought, every family can't open the pot.

At the beginning of the grassroots construction in the country, almost every small town had an orphanage, and it didn't matter whether the local finances could afford it or not.

Xia Jingxuan sometimes thinks, why did their parents throw them here?

But sometimes I think, there is no reason for such a thing as fate.

He got an astonishing confession from Wang Jianjun, and he didn't want to believe it was true, but indeed, only Wang Jianjun's confession could explain everything about him from childhood to adulthood.

Xia Jingxuan was sitting by the river, it was not the flood season, and the boats were all docked.The weather was so humid and cold that it was uncomfortable, there was no wind in the air, and the cooling went straight to the cracks in the bones of people. The place where he sat was the place where Ashin was taken away by someone, and he was crying and running back and forth by the river bank helplessly. The place.

This is Xia Jingxuan's deepest fear in his life.

He never thought that he would experience it a second time.

He sat for a while, then stood up, walked through the villagers' houses, and walked in another direction. When he reached the end, he could see a low bungalow, which reminded him of the old sanitation station, but it's not wrong to call it a sanitation station. , that is, the health station and the orphanage are together.

The orphanage is closed, but the sanitation station is still there, the house has been repainted, and the yard is full of flowers and plants. It is no longer the same as the dilapidated place in Xia Jingxuan's memory, full of the smell of disinfectant.

Same, maybe only the old people.

He made a phone call, and the sound of the phone ringing was heard in the yard. An old woman with white hair came out of the house, and when she saw Xia Jingxuan, she was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled.

She is very old, but her bones are still very strong, her walk is not fast but she is still steady.She opened the iron door, grabbed Xia Jingxuan's hand and led him in: "Oh, why did you come here suddenly and didn't say a word, I wasn't even prepared..."

"Excuse me, Aunt Ren." Xia Jingxuan supported the old man's arm and walked slowly forward, "I also decided to come here suddenly."

The two entered the room of the bungalow. The room was not big, but it was cleaned very clean.

Xia Jingxuan helped the old man to sit down.

Xia Jingxuan: "Are brother and sister-in-law coming back this week?"

Aunt Ren smiled kindly: "I came back. I just went back yesterday. I said it was cold, so I don't want those couples to run away."

Aunt Ren looked at Xia Jingxuan, holding him warmly: "I still remember that the dean picked you and your brother at the door. You are not as long as my arm, and now you have grown so big."

Xia Jingxuan also shook the old man back, unlike Aunt Ren's warm palm, Xia Jingxuan's hand was as cold as ice.

Aunt Ren: "You came back this time because you want to ask me something."

"You know?"

Aunt Ren: "I guessed it, Gu Xie also came back some time ago, I thought, you are coming back soon."

Hearing that Gu Xie had already returned, Xia Jingxuan was not surprised at all, but said: "What you told him, can you tell me the whole thing again?"

Aunt Ren sighed: "Since you already know, why bother to ask?"

Xia Jingxuan's hands trembled uncontrollably, and he almost gritted his teeth and asked, "So, Qi Lun is really a smuggler who sells human organs. He...he adopted us just for...for..."

Aunt Ren squeezed his hand tightly, and said with pity: "Jing Xuan, these words were told to me by your adoptive father before he died, no matter how many people he had harmed before, or his purpose of adopting you in the first place. He later, it was true He wanted to bring you up. After your brother was taken away, he... He really regretted entrusting you to me and has been looking for your brother. These are all true. "

Xia Jingxuan tightly covered his face with both hands, and exhausted all his strength to keep himself from crying. He arched his body, and his body collapsed tightly.

Ten thousand arrows piercing the heart can't compare to the pain he is enduring right now.

Before Mingming came, he had already done countless psychological constructions for himself.

But at this moment, when these cruel truths were revealed, he finally knew that he couldn't bear it.

He thought of Chen Qilun's careful care when he was young, the jars of imported milk powder and toys, countless snacks and candies.

How happy and proud they were at that time, only now did they realize that they were raising pigs, and the pigs had to be fattened before they could be killed.

"Jingxuan!" Aunt Ren patted Xia Jingxuan on the back anxiously, wanting him to slow down, "Qi Lun can't help himself in many things, you...don't hurt yourself"

Xia Jingxuan took a moment to calm himself down, wiped his face, the man has passed away, he can't waste time competing with a dead man, he has more important things to do now, there are still living people waiting for him save.

"Aunt Ren" Xia Jingxuan calmed down his emotions, "Did Qilun tell you other more detailed things... such as his superiors or how they did it."

Aunt Ren sighed, and stroked the white hair on her sideburns: "He was seriously ill at that time, so I said something. They are an organization, and they seem to have staff abroad. What they do is to bribe some couples to adopt orphans, and then lie Call the kids lost. Then sell those kids to buyers.”

Xia Jingxuan drew bloody and cruel pictures in his mind, and he gritted his teeth and asked, "He didn't say the names of other members of the organization..."

Aunt Ren stood up slowly, walked to a half-person-high cabinet in the corner, and said while pulling the cabinet: "Qi Lun once gave me something, and said that as long as someone of you came to ask him to come over, he would give it to you. .”

Aunt Ren took out something wrapped in gray cloth from the drawer and put it in Xia Jingxuan's hand.

Xia Jingxuan caressed the gray cloth bag. The cloth bag was made of an old dress. Xia Jingxuan recognized this old short-sleeved shirt as their old school uniform in primary school.

Xia Jingxuan's eyes were sour, and he asked, "Aunt Ren, besides me, have you ever given this bag to anyone else?"

Aunt Ren sighed: "Gu Xie came back a few years ago. I also asked about Qi Lun's past. I gave him the bag first, but he returned it later."

Xia Jingxuan sat for a while, then left with a cloth bag and went out.Aunt Ren sent him all the way to the outside of the yard, watching Xia Jingxuan go up the hill and gradually walk away.

Xia Jingxuan looked back at the smaller and smaller yard until he could only see the tall loquat tree in the yard. He didn't ask Aunt Ren why he gave the notes to Gu Xie, but concealed the existence of the notes from Shen Mo and him.

The loquat tree in the yard was planted by Aunt Ren when Qi Lun passed away. Twenty years later, the young tree was as graceful as a cover, but the person who planted the tree was very old.

"When my wife died, she was hand-planted, but now she is as graceful as a cover"

It's not that Xia Jingxuan doesn't know the meaning of the loquat tree, it's just that after so many years, everyone's bones have been buried in the loess.Tangling about the love and love of 20 years ago will only add to the sadness.

On the way back, Xia Jingxuan turned on her cell phone.

The whole world is looking for him crazy!

WeChat and phone calls almost exploded.

Mr. Wang has been in politics for 20 years, and he probably has never met a subordinate as fat as Xia Jingxuan, who dared to disappear without saying a word during the trial stage of an important case.

Xia Jingxuan was stopped by the police as soon as he left Qingshui Town, and he knew that Yan Mingxu must have transferred his file, and he came here by renting a car, so he was found without much effort.

So Xia Jingxuan was respectfully invited onto the plane and flew back to Beijing.

He didn't say a word on the road, as if he had eaten a bomb, with an iceberg face.

The assistant Yan Mingxu who accompanied him didn't dare to talk, so he could only quietly send a text message to Yan Mingxu to report.

Yan Mingxu and the others just landed, listening to the assistant's trembling report, Yan Mingxu was also very puzzled.

Although Xia Jingxuan has a bad temper, he is serious about his work. What happened to make him lose control so much?

Yan Mingxu brought back Wang Jianjun and his criminal subordinates,

Without waiting for a breath, the trial started directly.

The interrogation started overnight.Wang Jianjun just said what he said to Xia Jingxuan again, of course the content was recorded in Xia Jingxuan.

Wang Jianjun paid him to do all the identification.

Xu Ming was an accomplice to Neil Yasen who was paid to kill him.

Yan Mingxu has arranged for the Beijing police to arrest Xu Ming and bring him to justice. Fu Kailai's rank is too high, and these confessions can't do anything to him. The first thing Yan Mingxu and Zhang Yun need to determine is whether there is any corruption in the Fu family.

but……

Yan Mingxu played the contents of Xia Jingxuan's voice recorder on the computer for 10 minutes and 35 seconds.

But from the time Xia Jingxuan turned off the communicator to the time when he finally came out, it took a full 20 minutes. For such a major case, Xia Jingxuan's behavior of not reporting the knowledge has already violated the rules, but Yan Mingxu can't really pursue it at this time. Minutes, what did Wang Jianjun and Xia Jingxuan say?

Zhang Yun, Wang Jianjun's two dog legs, also interrogated him once. Hearing them repeat the process of how to kill Sha Bailing, Zhang Yun was so angry that he almost beat him.

Depressed, the two hid in the corridor to smoke. While smoking, they saw Xia Jingxuan coming in.

It was already late at this time, and all three of them were tired all night. Yan Mingxu and Zhang Yun were holding back their anger, but now they are too lazy to vent it.

Xia Jingxuan squatted beside them, and Zhang Yun kindly gave him a cigarette.

The three of them smoked half a stick in silence, watching the gray winter sun hang on the top of the persimmon tree, a sense of warmth slowly spread, this coldest winter is finally coming to an end.

Yan Mingxu originally wanted to ask about Wang Jianjun, but then thought that Xia Jingxuan might not want to talk about it, so he asked Ashin.

"My brother has arrived in Taiwan." Xia Jingxuan let out a stream of white air, "The situation over there has eased a lot, and no one is throwing stones in the yard anymore. Thank you for your help."

"Are you going to visit him in Taiwan after this busy work?" Yan Mingxu asked suddenly.

Xia Jingxuan's eyes widened: "Is it possible?"

Yan Mingxu nodded: "The greetings are almost done. The other side intends to seek peace. The diplomatic side mentioned it during the diplomatic talk, and the Taiwan side agreed to cooperate."

Xia Jingxuan said sincerely: "Thank you."

If it really happened, then this would be the first and possibly the only time he spent the New Year with his brother's family in the past [-] years or so.

Yan Mingxu glanced at him, took advantage of Xia Jingxuan's gentle attitude, and changed the subject: "Wang Jianjun added some evidence, but we can't arraign Fu Kailai yet, the Qingcheng criminal investigation team has already intervened, and the homicide case is the priority, so we will go first." Let's check the property of the family."

Xia Jingxuan nodded: "Yes."

Yan Mingxu pinched out the cigarette and stared at Xia Jingxuan: "Although Wang Jianjun confessed, I think he has something to hide."

Xia Jingxuan didn't speak, and Yan Mingxu observed his reaction: "The strangest thing is that Fu Kailai murdered people to silence him. If Neil is asking for money, Fu Kailai can agree to Neil's request first. Neil He often goes abroad, and Fu Kai can kill him in any corner of France. This matter is too easy. There are so many refugees in France, and there is no death penalty. If you spend some money to buy a refugee and find an unexpected reason, you can get the result. Why should it be resolved in the country, and Wang Jianjun has to do it himself? The most important thing is, is it really necessary for Fu Kailai to kill Neil?"

Xia Jingxuan actually agreed: "You're right, he really didn't have to kill Neil."

Yan Mingxu looked at him for a while, and said, "The 10 minutes you didn't record, and yesterday's sudden departure, what is it for?"

"You don't have to doubt me," Xia Jingxuan said, "The things I did have little to do with this case, they are private matters."

Yan Mingxu sighed: ""You are not going to tell me the truth, are you?Since Wang Jianjun knows your adoptive father, the case department of your adoptive father will naturally have to intervene, Jing Xuan, this is no longer a personal enmity between you and Shen Mo, this is a case.Let us help you. "

Xia Jingxuan raised his head and looked at Yan Mingxu. After a while, as if he had finally figured it out, he took out the cloth bag in his arms: "I request Gu Xie to come back to assist in the investigation."

Yan Mingxu took it, flipped it hastily a few times, with a shocked expression on his face.

Xia Jingxuan: "Gu Xie got this note left by my adoptive father a few years ago, and then he entered Xu Ming's social circle. I suspect that in order to gain the trust of Xu Ming and his gang, he might do something for them A few months ago, Gu Xie threatened my brother, and also threatened Shen Mo and me."

Yan Mingxu's eyes flashed fiercely: "Would it be possible that Shen Mo was shot?"

Xia Jingxuan shook his head: "I don't know, but maybe Gu Xie can give us the information that Wang Jianjun can't get. After all, he has been dormant for so long just for this day."

Xia Jingxuan laughed at herself: "I wished to avenge my adoptive father since I was young, but I didn't expect my brother to do nothing in the end, but Gu Xie..."

So he also understood why Aunt Ren gave Gu Xie the notes but not Shen Mo and him.He and Shen Mo have always hoped to use the law to bring the enemy to justice. Even if they got the notebook, they would not use means other than the law to solve the problem.And Gu Xie would take revenge by all means, and Aunt Ren also acquiesced.

Aunt Ren knew that the names on the notes were either rich or expensive, she concluded that Xia Jingxuan and Shen Mo would not go all out for revenge, so they chose to hand over the responsibility of truth and revenge to Gu Xie.

Aunt Ren did not trust the law, nor did she trust him.

This made Xia Jingxuan extremely sad.
